* Class decorators (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3129/ ); i.e.
using decorators on a class instead of a function/method
* Metaclasses (http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/datamodel.html#customizing-class-creation
); a rather more complicated feature capable of serious black magic
* Descriptors (http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/datamodel.html#implementing-descriptors
); probably the most rarely directly used of the three

Cheers,
Chris
